Mashups

One of my favourite bloggers recently introduced me to a world of YouTube mashups that have now become my new obsession. Some of them are so good I would give an arm and a leg to see them performed live. It’s a huge shame these mashups aren’t exactly real; they’re simply creations from pure musical geniuses who have created something wonderful from already amazing songs.

Here are some of my favourites:

Stayin’ Alive In The Wall (Stayin’ Alive by The Bee Gees + Another Brick In The Wall, by Pink Floyd)

With Or Without Glycerine (With Or Without You, by U2 + Glycerine, by Bush)

Sweet Home Alabama, by Lynyrd Skynyrd vs Country Grammar, by Nelly

No Karma (No Hook, by Jay-Z + Karma Police, by Radiohead)

5 Step (15 Step, by Radiohead + Take Five, by Dave Brubeck)

Intergalactic Friends (Intergalactic, by Beastie Boys + We Used To Be Friends, by Dandy Warhols)

My Friday Night Playlist

I can’t believe it’s already Friday. It’s the school holidays and I was supposed to get some much needed rest this week and catch up with friends, and do a whole lot of nothing in between. Alas, I now realise it was a completely idealistic plan because it never even came close to fruition. Well, I did catch up with Hui & Zef who are back for a month (yay!) but other than that, I still feel exhausted at the end of each day. So unfortunately for me, instead of feeling recharged and ready to go in the next scholastic term, I’m gonna go in to it feeling tired still. NOT GOOD.

If only we can just get a day off for us to sleep in. And no, weekends DON’T count. Have you seen my weekends?

Anyhow, here’s a Friday Night playlist for my dear friend, Nessa, cos she’s the biggest “fan” of my Song of the Day feature on the blog, and also because it’s her birthday tomorrow. Heh. (Happy Birthday, Ma’am! LOL.)

My Saturday Night playlist

After having two tunes randomly pop into my head while at dinner earlier, I decided to revisit some of my favourite songs from the 90s. (Oh, why don’t they make music like this anymore?) And I’ve been playing them non-stop ever since. So instead of my usual Song of the Day, here’s a whole playlist for you. Enjoy! :)
